Higher Prices for Steel Rail in Prospect.

Higher Prices for Steel Rail IN Prospect
Managers of Indianapolis roads and projectors
OF new roads are somewhat exercised over the
prospects of still further advances in the price
OF steel rails. and the prospects are that $40
per ton will be the ruling price for 1857, as or
ders cannot now be placed at less than $38 per
ton. In 1886 all of the mills in operation had
enough business to keep them busy, while the
constant tendency of prices from the beginning
was in the direction of higher prices There
WAS marked absence of the fierce competition
which marked 1885 Already orders aggre-
eating 100000 tons are in band
many of the mills being engaged to their
full capacity up to next August 1t is probable
that the miles of track laid in 1887 will exceed
the total of 1886 by at least l. 900 miles In fact,
If anything like the number of new lines pro-
Jected are actually put down this year it will go
down as one OF the most prosperous in our his
tory. Eastern papers state that there are a
number OF large inquiries on the market, and
some figuring on imported rails is reported The
rail-makers of England, Belgium and Germany
are in consultation as to the establishment of
the combination which was declared off last
spring Ii this movement is successful it will
have decidedly hardening tendency on Ameri-
can prices

A handsome portrait of Charles Sumner by
II. Velten forms the frontispiece of the Atg-
ust Cosmopolitan. 1t accompanies interest
ing and valuable "reminiscences of the great
statesman, by Arnold Burgess Johnson, for
many years his private secretary. George H.
Fitch's profusely illustrated article on Mill
ionaires of the Pacific Coast" is vivid and
picturesque account of how these men ac-
qnired their great fortunes. "Pilgrims and
Shrines in Canada" by J. Macdonald Oxley,
is timely description Of one of the most
striking and interesting features of Canadian
life, since 1t is at this season Of the year that
Ste. Anne de Beaupre attracts SO many Wis
tors. Gail Hamilton's vigorous article on
The Domestic Money Question is an at
tempt to solve one of the greatest difficulties
encountered in married life. The conclusion
Of Charles c. Welmans Monte Carlo Its
Games and Gamesters" is even more interest
ing than the first article. "The Resurrection
Of Siddhardta" by Aug. CLARION is a poA erfuI
Hindoo story, while Mrs. X. b. Fool's story

CROPS.

From the information before us
we conclude that both the corn
and cotton crops of this county
will be cut short by the recent
drOuth In some sections not more
than half a crop can be expected
while in other sections both corn
and cotton will reach the average.
The crop reports for the state
shows them to be in fair condition
in the East Tennessee Valley and
portions of Middle and West Ten
nessee, but in many sections of
the state all kinds of crops are
cut short.

Last Sunday an immense crowd
gathered at Ross church to listen
to an excellent sermon by Rev. j
X. Alexander, who announced at
it's close that dinner was on the
grounds.
After recreations, the crowd
again repaired to the church as a
prohibition meeting was in order.
After some excellent music by the
choir we had good speech from
Rev Alexander, followed by few
pointed remarks from Mr.. H. Hin
kle. Capt. Thomas Paine, in a
most touching manner, told the
audience how G. II. Written, of
McNairy county, had, while under
the influence of whisky, forever
torn from his own bosom the fond
embrace of a loving wife; how he
was confined in Jail and refused
bail; how he had continued to
weep ever since his arrest, over
his hideOus crime. Poor soul!
Well may he weep over the dread
fui deed which he can never recall;
but go mourning and wretched,
without even the last comforting
words of mans angel of mercy-a
loving wife-till he is suspended
between heaven and earth. X.

How a vonomous salamander Got
il It's Deadly Work.
New York, May IA bout ten
d avs ago Charles Reiche & Bros.
dealers IN ANIMALS, received two
salamanders from the interior of Ja-
pan. These japanese terrors have
excited great attention, not because
they are the only ones ever inn
ported into this country, but on &C
count of their bad reputation. Wa
ter in which they have poked their
noses becomes 80 deadly as to kill
any living thing that touches it.
The reputa ton of the saIamander
in regard to fire Is well known. It
is believed that these animals have
many ether bad habits about which
they are silent. On Sunday the two
warty beasts were left in a shallow
tub, and yesterday morning both
escaped. The larger of the two was
found in a corner Of the room, and
without much dificulsy was pickle d
up on a cloth and put back in the
tub. The little one had left watery
trail in its flight which led out Of
the door aud half way down flight
OF stairs to a hole just big enough
for the creature to squeeze through
The wandering salamander must
have made u quick descent to the
cellar floor, where a young black
bear of great amiabilitv of character
was chained to the walls. The tall
probably soured the salamander's
tenn per and made him anxious to
smash things, for when the store
was opened up yesterday morning
the bear was lying dead in its cor
ner with froth about its muzzle and
its body drawn up as if it had died
with the collie. No marks could be
found On the bears body aud no
autopsy was made. That will come
in due time to-day, for everybody
wants to know just how the salaman
der gets in its deadly work.
The cellar of the store was tho
roughly searched during the day,
but the lizard was not to be found
Last night stream of water was
lett trickling down into an iron basin
in the-hopes that the pleasant sound
wonld attract the salamander,
which must be very dry. indeed, by
this time. The unfortunate part Of
the affair is that nobody knows
whether the salamander kills the
victim by biting, splitting or merely
getting into the same county. This
uncertainty makes the hunt peculiar
ly exciting.
